as a top-down tower defense real-time strategy game , personally recommend : 1. almost included all kinds of military attacks simulated here. (except of Guided missiles and navy forces) 2. basic tutorial is easy to learn , but missions are hard and Challenging. (it wont be bored and cold.) 3. the degradability of the environment is High , So you have more freedom to take actions.(enemies and cities designed as reality) 4. During defense planning , able to fight with Quadruple physical technologies. (like Gravity hole and EMP bomb) 5. after finishing the waves , you will challenge with heavy armored bosses. (this is literally addictive and fun as hell.) 6. It doesn't require strong hardware to run. 7. Musics match with game-play. 8. available to try on co-op , survival mode and also few dlc. 9. the Demo version exist for testing. *even If you have money problem, next Steam discount will Satisfy you.

9.4/10 Great mix of tower defense and star fighter mechanics. DLC is also fun, but probably easier to justify buying only when on sale. Had a couple bugs, but that might just be my out of date PC.

This is a wonderful game, what a surprise it was... it's a action tower defense game, much like Sanctum 2, where you place your towers to influence the path of the enemy, and instead of just letting them do the work, you are also a unit that goes around doing damage, in this case, as a spaceship doing some top-down shooter combat. The action is non-stop, as the ship you are always active, one of the game's greatest strenghts is never having down-time. Not to say you'll be constantly overwhelmed, it's very well paced, but you'll always be doing something. Shooting and observing how effective your towers are and collecting destroyed enemy scrap, flying back-and-forward to juggle multiple lanes. You can also build mid-round in a pinch. It's the only tower defense game I've played that does NOT need a fast-forward button at all. The tower placement is pretty unique, you can greatly shape the path of the enemy, much like Sanctum, but in a more dynamic way. The grid is a lot smaller and blockades can be made in any wacky ways you can think of... very satisfying to force an enemy path to do a Loop-the-loop around street blocks. My favorite part of the game is how dynamic everything is, almost everything is destructible and all the bits have physics to them, and it's not all just for eye-candy, lots of it has purpose. Enemy debris can be collected for points and extra build materials, smaller buildings when destroyed can open up new paths for enemies to use, or open up line-of-sight for your turrets, and larger buildings can tumble onto roads, the debris blocking whole paths for the enemy, and also doing damage if anything under. Plus it IS just extremely satisfying to use a bomb and see all the things explode majestically around. And the graphics are pretty charming I'd say... it has a late PS3/360 vibe to it, but while still having plenty of vivid color and appealing visual effects. I don't know if this 7th gen vibe was intentional or not, but I appreciate it none the less, the first level looks straight out of Metal gear rising or Resident evil 5, but with high res textures and modern niceties. Not stunning, but I'd call it very competent. So yea, that's about it, it's just a bit of a hidden gem, found it at random, it was dirty cheap, didn't expect much and was blown away by the quality. Extremely fun, recommend it to everyone, even if top-down shooters arent your thing, they aren't mine, it STILL hooked completely.

In the game X-Morph Defense the main character is an alien race. Playing for a high-tech race is much more enjoyable than playing for “Neanderthals with clubs”. Even if these Neanderthals outnumber you many times over. Already at this stage the game has its own style. Levels here are named after countries - an unusual and at the same time very logical decision. The design of locations also has characteristic geographical features: in Russia there are forests on the map, in Egypt there are pyramids, USA and Japan are represented by huge megacities with a lot of streets and buildings. Not every state has such uniqueness, but nevertheless, fighting for the country, even as its invader, is much more interesting than in the usual darn level with a number as the name. The main feature of tactical strategy gameplay is the ability to build towers EVERYWHERE, anywhere. In most games of this genre, you can only put defense towers where the developer has predetermined. You have several routes for enemy columns and anchor points for your structures. You can place towers on the path of enemy troops, emphasizing mainly on turns and intersections. In X-Morph Defense, you can place turrets anywhere, even on buildings, which greatly expands your tactical options. But these defensive structures, in addition to their protective function, have another very useful feature - the ability to build barriers. The game has a complete destruction of the environment. No deformation only relief. And in this particular case, it’s not just for effect. Controlled explosions destroy high-rise buildings, pipes, towers, thereby saving money on fences. Destructive built-in tactics. In terms of action, there may be a claim only for weapons. More precisely, the very first modification that uses automatic futurism. We have a rocket plane for air targets, a laser plane for armor, and a bomb plane for everything else. And the first one - with automatics - is only in demand until you open all the others. When you reset the game to a higher difficulty, when you have already opened the entire arsenal, you will not need this modification at all. Bosses are just great! This is not a health bot and a dangerous car where your tactics are needed! "X-Morph: Defense" is a tactical strategy in which the genre of tandem cannot be boring in principle. Well-designed tactics and mad action create a perfect synthesis: on the one hand, allowing you to exercise and work reflexes, on the other - rest and think about how to make your defense even more effective. 9/10

It's both great and unique TD game, not only it is very interesting strategically, making you constantly think from the perspective of your tower positioning throughout the fight and actively do fighing, resource gathering and supporting with skills where needed by yourself, it is very beutiful with wonderful effects graphics and physics. A lot of levels are standing out by level design on their own too, making campaign walkthrough constantly interesting to play. I recommend to play on at least Hard difficulty.
